Stalhrim in Skyrim: where to find, ID code, how to process, what it is used for

Stalhrim is a unique crafting material in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, particularly found in the Dragonborn DLC. It is described as an ancient Nordic enchanted ice that offers enhanced properties when used in armor and weapon crafting. Below, you will find comprehensive details on where to find Stalhrim, its ID code, the process required for using it, and its various applications in the game.

Overview

Stalhrim is primarily sought after for crafting high-quality armor and weapons. To make use of Stalhrim, you must first acquire the Ebony Smithing perk. Additionally, completing the quest “A New Source of Stalhrim” is essential for unlocking the ability to craft Stalhrim items. Notably:

• Stalhrim heavy armor matches the quality of dragonplate armor but is lighter.
• Stalhrim light armor surpasses glass armor in quality but is weaker than dragonscale armor, except for its shield.
• Stalhrim weapons deal the same damage as ebony weapons but are lighter in weight.
• Enchantments involving resist frost and frost damage are 25% stronger on Stalhrim items.
• Chaos damage enchantments also benefit from a 25% increase.

Mineral Sources

Stalhrim deposits are available exclusively on the island of Solstheim. Note the following key points:

• Baldor Iron-Shaper (merchant) sells up to four pieces with a 75% chance each.
